Jurgen Klopp has just strengthened Liverpool midfield with Philippe Coutinho replacement this summer
Fabio Carvalho is officially a Liverpool player. With a compensation package worth up to a potential £7.7m already agreed with Fulham, once the clock struck midnight tonight, and June turned to July, the Portugal Under-21s international became a Red.
